Wine Advocate: 94 Points
The wine released in 2024 is the 2019 Pintia, from a very dry year when they did a softer vinification and used some 15% stainless steel for the élevage to keep the fruit and freshness. It fermented with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel and oak vats. It's a powerful year; the wine has 15% alcohol and is round and full-bodied. It's a heady and ripe Pintia. They had to be careful with the harvest date, and they harvested early and quite quickly. Even though the wine is ripe and heady, with notes of grenadine and small ripe berries, it's also exotic and spicy, quite showy, lush and full-bodied, with the 2019 tannins. Drink now to 2031.
Wine Spectator: 92 Points
A red with depth and concentration, but also a sense of poise and finesse. Fine-grained tannins and velvety texture carry flavors of creamed black cherry and crème de cassis fruit, with accents of Mediterranean macchia, tar, mocha and licorice. The firm finish is long and well-spiced. Best from 2025 through 2035.
